A long-time favorite of fleet buyers like delivery services and the Post Office (not since 1984 though), if you’re interested, you can buy a Wrangler Unlimited in right-hand drive. In case you forgot, reminded us all that if you want something brand new () that’s RHD, Jeep will supply.

The Wrangler RHD is its own trim in the Wrangler lineup now. Starting at $38,925, it sits toward the higher end of the lineup, slotting between the Sport Altitude below and the Sahara above.

I’m not quite sure who the market would be for this. It’s a niche for sure, but this being Jeep, I’m sure there is some appeal out there somewhere. You’re paying more for less. No doubt most of the cost of this thing is wrapped up in the unique RHD setup.

Opting for the RHD trim limits you. For starters, you can’t get RHD on the two-door. It’s only available on Unlimited models. Also, the only engine and transmission available is the base 2.0-liter turbo-four with the eight-speed auto. No V6, diesel, or stick. Don’t count on any serious off-road goodies either. While it does have 4WD and you get skid plates on the transmission and transfer case, it gets a Dana M200 rear axle along with conventional differential front and rear axles. You also can only get 17-inch wheels and you can choose any top as long as it’s either a black three-piece hardtop or no top .

Inside, it’s basic Wrangler as well, sporting cloth seats with manual adjustments and a laughably small five-inch touch screen on the dash. You can choose an Alpine audio system for $1,295 and a $995 cold weather package, but that’s it. Loaded out you’re looking at $42,955 for a RHD Wrangler. This may be one of the greatest Wranglers to ever go on sale in its simplicity, if that’s what you’re looking for. That and taking a leap of faith every time you pull out to pass on a country two-lane.

Buy This Manual Mercedes SLK So I Don't Have To
“You know what,” I often say to myself, “I’m really a Mercedes Man at heart.” This is an aspirational declaration, as I’m not actually sufficiently wealthy to afford the Benz that I want: manual, rear-wheel drive, with some power. Oh wait, I can afford that Benz. It’s just an SLK....

The 2019 Mazda Miata’s Extra Power Makes a Great Car Better
The isn’t completely revamped, but then again, it didn’t need that. Now, though, it is more powerful, more efficient, and basically just a tiny bump better. The car was already great, now it’s even more of a goddamn blast. (Mazda kindly flew me to San Diego and gave me a...

Geely Is Reaching Out to the Internet to Name Its New SUV, Which Is Always A Bad Idea
The internet doesn’t when it comes to naming vehicles, but that’s not stopping Geely, who is looking for an English name for its new SUV, known in Chinese as Bin Yue. Knowing how this usually goes, I’m sure SUVy McSUVface will look fantastic on a badge on the tailgate. Now,...

Would You Pay $24,900 for This 1998 Mercedes SL600, or Are You Yella’?
With its untraditional yellow paint and Lorinser bodywork, today’s W129 is sure to stand out. We’ll just have to see if it’s outstanding enough to justify its asking price. If you’re of a certain generation then ‘The Drifters’ probably elicits images of the R&B band of the same name that,...
